Ten pence, a paper bag and a very slow decision at the counter. Rank these sweet shop classics from best to worst.

Sherbet Lemons
You suck away politely, then the sherbet bursts out and makes your eyes water. Somehow always found in a nan's handbag.

Flying Saucers
Barely feels like a sweet until the sherbet hits. You could fit about six in at once, which nobody ever regretted.

Pear Drops
That unmistakable smell the second the jar came off the shelf. Half the fun was the pink and yellow halves.

Cola Bottles
The reliable pick 'n' mix choice when you couldn't be bothered deciding. Still tastes like a school disco.

Rhubarb and Custard
Pink and yellow, gently sharp, and strangely comforting. The one grown-ups quietly nick from the bowl.

Do you dunk your biscuit in your tea, or is that a crime against a good brew?
